When guests step inside the theme park they will be greeted by an all-new 50th anniversary topiary display.
“Since the festival is taking place during the Walt Disney World Resort 50th Anniversary celebration, a new main entrance topiary display will feature Goofy and a 50th-themed birthday cake. Other favorite Disney Character topiaries will include Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Germany pavilion or Lumiere and Cogsworth welcoming you to the recently expanded France pavilion,” Disney explained on its blog.
The festival will feature 18 outdoor kitchens that will be serving up delicious selections of springtime fruits, vegetables, desserts and more.
